Other Details

Performs decently - but packaging/presentation is a letdown

Let's be honest - are any of us really buying this because the product is good? As a strobe junkie, I have a lot of highlighters that swatch and perform beautifully. I wanted this one because the packaging looked luxe and gorgeous - something I could display on my vanity and use as a treat. For that reason, it is a serious letdown. First of all, it is TINY. About the size of a lithium battery. To me this feels flimsy and cheap, because the packaging is made out of cardboard. Seriously - cardboard. I'm a little aghast that Charlotte would actually allow something made out of cardboard into her product lineup. This does swatch nicely, but it's ultimately just a standard gold toned highlighter. Yes it's finely milled, but nothing special. If you missed this one, don't worry - you didn't miss much.

Since I don't plan to rub the packaging on my face...

I always crack up when people get all twisted over packaging and size for luxury items. It's not that I can't understand where they are coming from but I just don't care what the packaging is like when the product is bomb.
So let's get down to brass tacks. In terms of product quality, product performance and product shade it's incredible. It's a beautiful highlight that lends itself to users who want something a little more natural as well as users who are looking to glow like there is no tomorrow. I love that I can do a one swipe for a "lit from within" glow or I can build it up for the out of this world seen from outer space highlight. I don't find that it fades or diminishes as the day wears on either.
In terms of rating it 4 stars I did remove a star because I feel like Charlotte sold herself and her brand short when she opted to use cardboard packaging. However it's still beautiful and still looks great in photos and on my vanity. The most substantial reason for docking a star is because it seems quite fragile and I'm afraid to travel with it. Which also means I wouldn't ever choose to put it in my pro kit. I feel like it's a dis-service when a brand creates something that can't leave the safety of my vanity.
But for true makeup collectors/junkies/highlight fanatics...this is 100% a must have!

Its not bad at all

Honestly people are angry because of the product size and such but i compared this to my kevyn A, Becca, Burberry, and Nars, this one was the brightest out of all of them, Although it did caught me off guard that it didnt have its own box, many think that an expensive product must be big but they also forget the quality of the product, I can have a million cheap highlighters and all work like trash but one can be just as good as all of them if not better. This is a great highlighter and I am glad I snatched this one up.

Aside from the packaging.. I like the Bar of Gold because it's very subtle and can be worn on a regular day as well as for a special event. It gives a sophisticated, sort of natural glow and looks good on my skin tone.

Gorgeous golden sheen!

I'm actually pretty shocked by the poor reviews on this product... I think it's easily one of the most stunning highlighters I've ever seen. I bought it months ago & am really glad to see Beautylish is now stocking it!

From what I can gather, people are mostly just upset about the packaging. I think it's cute - compact & kind of kitschy. Yes, it's cardboard, but it feels sturdy and stays shut with a magnet. I'd be happy if Tilbury updated the package to plastic, but I don't think it's a big deal or detracts from the performance of the product inside. If you buy solely for packaging, sometimes the product just becomes a tabletop accessory and lacks real quality on the skin. For performance, I think this one is pretty stunning. I'd rather pay for performance on the skin than on a tabletop.

I am extremely fair and most highlighters are much too dark for me unless they have an opalescent white base. This is the first golden highlight that I can wear without looking like there is a dark fake metallic stripe across my cheekbones. It's really a wow product - super shimmery, doesn't accentuate texture (the way some very potent highlighters can), and with the undertone being warm and golden while still being really light, I imagine this would work on loads of skin tones.

When I'm trying to go for a very glamorous, Old Hollywood look - I grab this. Simply beautiful.

Glad I got this.

Ive been waiting for this to come in forever! I didnt have a gold highlighter and I really like it. It is in a little magnetized box, I dont mind this at all. I use it with the Wayne Goss 15 fan brush & let me tell you, you dont feel like u swipe up a lot of product but you really do. And the fact that its gold gives you a warm lit look. Much more natural looking than other highlighters that have that white base to them. I am happy with my purchase.

gorgeous product

Such nasty reviews but here is my take. I knew that it was small packaging but I was hoping the product itself would be worth the price tag because I am looking for quality product, not just to look pretty on my vanity. This highlight is beautiful especially for those who would like a soft yet glam white golden highlight that is unlike anything I own. I have a plethera of highlighters and this is in my top ten for sure. Could this have been nicer packaging for the price, definitely. However, if you want to wear a gorgeous product and not just let it sit somewhere for show then try this out. If you're looking for pretty packaging, then buy something else.

Who cares about package

Im sorry but who buys makeup products for the packaging? We wear makeup we dont go around wearing the package glued to our face. I bought this highlighter and i really like it. i dont know about the woman below me but product and quality is most important cute lil packages are just a bonus. Packaging only matters if its spilling product etc etc. id recommend it

Nice highlighter, but really only worth it for collectors

I collect highlighters so I (stupidly) had to have this. The powder is quite nice and smooth, however the packaging is beyond cheap. It is flimsy cardboard covered in foil, feels light and insubstantial, and the product is very small like others have mentioned already. For $42, even a highlighter junkie like myself has to pause for a moment and reconsider the value proposition here. For a luxury, limited edition product it really fell short.
